Dad Daniel said: “It was just an off the cuff idea, he was sitting playing with his toys on the floor like they were on a rollercoaster. So we got the video up on Youtube, stuck it on the telly, and got him in the basket.

“After we did it once he just kept shouting ‘Again, again, again!’ so we did it a couple of times. Then my arm started to hurt, and my dad stopped helping, so we had to stop.

"I’m sure he’ll have another go next week though.”

The idea was praised on Twitter by social media users.
